The families of missing people are calling on the government to fund a group to provide emotional and practical support. Here are the stories of some of their missing loved-ones.



EDDIE GIBSON, 20, BRIGHTON

Eddie Gibson went missing while travelling in Cambodia.

He was last heard from on 24 October 2004 when he sent an email to his parents from Phnom Penh, saying he was planning to fly home from Bangkok.

When they went to meet him at the airport he was not there, and he has not been seen or heard from since.

While it is possible he chose to disappear, it's feared he may have fallen foul of armed gangs in Cambodia.

Eddie was three weeks into a course at Leeds University last year when he decided to leave to travel in Asia.
